Rufous and Wren wrassle (and Wren looks like she’s regretting starting this!)
It’s a Wren pie! (My favorite!)
And a Tater pie! (My favorite!)
Wren? Talking? How unusual!
Rufous and Tater have a tussle. (I love that it looks like she’s bigger than he is. I assure you: it’s all floof. He’s half a pound heavier than she is.)
Looks like Rufous wants a tussle with Starling, and Starling is CLEARLY thinking “Ew, ick. NO.”
Tater’s keeping an eye on me.
Starling… and Rufous’s tail. “Starling?” I said. “Were you biting Rufous’s tail?”
“Who, ME? I’d NEVER.”

Charlie and Khal are just the best o’ friends. Wherever you see one, the other’s not far away.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.
I thought I’d do a little then-and-now comparison of the Nestlings, since I got decent pictures of them yesterday. Here are each of them in one of their earliest pictures on the left, and the pictures from yesterday on the right. As you can see, they’re growing up!
Wren is 11 weeks old today, Rufous turned 10 weeks on Sunday, and Starling and Tater turned 9 weeks on Sunday. They’re all well within the normal weight range for their ages (yes, they’re quite a bit lighter than the Catsbys were at this age, that’s just how it goes) and doing great!
Line ’em up! Left to right: Rufous, TaterPlover, Wren and Starling.

Rufous comes for a quick snuggle and then he’s OUTTA HERE.

Starling has a purrrrr.
It’s a rough life for a Starling.
Good night innernets. (From left: Rufous, Tater, Starling and Wren)

How do you tell Wren and Starling apart? They always look so similar to me!
Wren’s bigger and longer, has white paws, and dashes of orange here and there. It’s a lot more obvious in person than in pictures! 🙂
I’m getting strong bengal vibes from wren and starling, what with the colouring/marking, and seeming very vocal. What do you think, Robyn?
